That's brilliant, Eric: a double tool!

I have just the thing to use instead of the set screw: a quick-release =
sailboat shackle pin.  It works like a cotter pin, except what holds it =
in place are two spring-loaded tiny ball bearings at the end of the =
shaft, released by an internal plunger.  I don't know if they make them =
quite that small, though...

Here's an example:

  I place a damper wire set screw (I couldn't find anything that worked =
better) into one of the holes in the capstan and place the tool (chucked =
into my cordless drill) onto the capstan making sure the screw gets up =
into the cutter slot on the side of the tool (photo #2).=20
